The Nation’s Most Affordable, Serious 天主教 University

Newman Guide Seal 2023

When the Benedictine Sisters of the Annunciation founded what is today North Dakota's only 天主教 university, they placed their small college under the patronage of Mary, the Mother of God. 姐妹的 hope was that generations of students would find inspiration in the beautiful wisdom and courage of the maiden from Nazareth. As a 天主教 university, we are deeply dedicated to providing rich opportunities for our students to explore and grow in their faith.

University of Mary President Monsignor James Shea

The instinct of a Christian, 天主教, Benedictine institution is to resist the fragmentation of knowledge. We stand convinced that there can be a deep harmony between faith and reason. ... At a place 就像 the University of Mary, reason is at home in a culture of faith.

Monsignor James P. Shea, President

Leading in the 服务 of Truth

We believe that the development of essential leadership qualities in each student prepares that person to work courageously and effectively for the common good. We call this servant leadership. At the University of Mary, we promote an environment in which students have the freedom to discover their gifts and develop characteristics critical to leadership, so that they may use those talents to serve those around them

All students are encouraged to seek the Truth, to see themselves as whole and unique individuals responsible to God and one another, and to become leaders in the service of Truth.
